Working on the same figure myself. Always loved it and picked it up recently. Same deal with the horse tail and I'm sculpting new one, also turned the head a bit more forward and filled the gap. Watching your progress with interest.

Couldn't have said it better myself

If my "Don't mention the war" turns out as I hope there may just be room for a Silly Walks also.

I've always thought that was the best scene in the whole movie!!!!

One of Waud's sketches that you can see the details a bit clearer

Plate No. 103 and a couple of others. Waud's sketch is very hard to see and detail but his note about the red blanket with its black stripe is recorded on the back of the sketch. 1st & 2nd RI wore the same uniform. Note the officer in the background of No. 103 - double row of buttons on...

Eduard Perez is one of my favorite sculptors and I believe I have each of his figures he did for FeR. I love the way he handles clothing folds, and his anatomy is spot one. Nevertheless, after some research and studying photographs of the 2nd Rhode Island I couldn’t resist tweaking this figure...

I think I may have opened a can of worms!!!! I personally would like to see an alphabetical galleries index listed by user name. That way I can follow my favorite painters over time. Even thought about creating a gallery myself. (y)

Provide an alternate hat/head and you can do either company.

How you we search for a specific members gallery? Thinking I may want to see what certain members have done without having to page through them all

You can just about count on variations with any civil war uniform especially militia. I always try to find a period photo of the unit to work from. Reenactors are not always reliable. On my Rhode Island figure I've found about 5 or 6 variations of the officer's uniform working from...

The top picture (Green uniforms) - they are wearing Hardee hats, not top hats.......but you can get there from the kit figure. Toriani's plate is of course the 17th Miss on which the kit is based. Second row - colorized Augustus Columbus Thompson Captain 16th Georgia Infantry Third row - 11th...

I'll be following you on this one too. I'm one figure behind you.....just ordered the 1st Rhode Island.

The Mississippi figure is up next on my bench. Malc Got him in my queue already BUT I am making a few changes.

I'll say this for sure Malc; you're handling and painting of this figure has persuaded me that I must have one in my collection. 74mm has become my favorite scale and I'm a die-hard civil war fan. Thanks for posting your WIP

Hi Malc, I think I would try and duplicate Don Troiani's trouser color. It definitely has a brownish tone to it. Please post your recipe when you settle on the color. I'm an acrylics guy too. Oils always took too long to dry for me and the truth of the matter is I have better results with...

I must say Malc your 1st Rhode Island is coming along nicely. I wasn't that excited about this figure when it first came out because I hadn't seen an officer wearing this type of sack coat more common with the enlisted soldiers. However after a bit of research I found a couple of officers...

Ministry of Silly Walks???? Just got my Basil Fawlty and he looks great!

Pre-ordered the 17th Mississippi but haven't seen it yet. Have you started production/shipping?
